A true opportunity to cut the final facets of this diamond!! Your dream of owning an exquisite waterfront location, equal to none, has finally arrived. A sturdy brick and vinyl-sided residence, built with three bedrooms (two bedrooms had been combined together recently) and owned by the same family since ca. 1968. It was placed to preside over the best of all places, an elevated riverfront lot overlooking the broad, panoramic sweeps of the Neuse (over 300'+) AND protected creek/canal frontage on Holly Gut (over 270')!!! Rare is it possible to find the drama of open waters enhanced by a quiet tributary from which to dock your boat and have the family launch their kayaks and skiffs for a day of adventure and fishing on the surrounding waters. The stately homeplace was FLOODED BY HURRICANE FLORENCE and is damaged (owner reports only a few inches inside the residence) and is currently uninhabitable... The mitigation was promptly undertaken but not completed, allowing you a full range of possibilities for an imaginative re-design and remodelling project. The flooring has been removed to the subfloor and the interior walls were excised to an appropriate height, cabinetry/doors/insulation/ductwork removed, etc. Owner reports that the HVAC unit itself was evidently not flooded, nor was the household generator. As the home was a graciously designed, so may it be again! The windows are low-maintenance and the exterior walls seem to be in excellent condition. Concrete parking apron, brick planters and a lovely 14' x 25' stone/ concrete patio from which to admire the views. Should you decide to start over, the location is compelling and magnificent enough to justify the finest of homes! Mature trees, some shoreline rip-rap & waterviews to write home about. The lot appears unrestricted by deed and may be suitable for multiple uses. A mere few miles from Oriental, this offering will appeal to the value-conscious investor seeking the best! Southern exposure!
